We celebrated Natalie's 15th birthday at the end of April. The party started at 3pm on a Friday afternoon and was an all nighter. We had multiple outdoor games and then roasted hot dogs over the fire pit for dinner. After dinner we watched the movies LaLa Land & Fantastic Beasts and had cake in between the movies.

2nd game was Twister that we spray painted on the back lawn. It was twister with a twist though as we put shaving cream on the circles.
3rd activity was a water balloon fight. The kids filled up 400 water balloons the day before the party.
Playing some corn hole in the front yard.
Bryan surprised us with a bubble machine from his work. He set it up in one of the upstairs bedrooms and pointed it out the window so we had bubbles blowing all over the front yard during the party.
You're never too old to enjoy bubbles!
